Let's get ready to rumble!
Logo celebrating both of their victories for the night.
The tribe has spoken. David Barton Gym makes like Survivor and paints their face to intimidate their opponents.
Sergio in the first dodgeball showdown of the season.
You know where this picture is headed...
Russell, in what looks like a medevil dungeon, but is really the back room of Henrietta Hudson's.
Vinny, who has become EVERYONE'S newbie crush this week with some of the BAD Boys.
Kelly giving us double V's. Don't worry, we won't tell anyone about you getting a little crazy on the dancefloor!
Could Dom's eyes be any more blue? We are totally J. What's so funny V?
Vat loving the spotlight.
We love our girls in hats
Like we said, we love our girls in hats. Rock it out Gilbride and Shawn.
Mike and Tarah, two newbies who we think totally rule.
Words can't explain the phenomenom that was Shane and Gilbride getting in that cage and giving Rihanna's video for "Disturbia" a run for it's money. It could be the first time two gays got in a cage and danced like there's no tomorrow in this primarily lesbian bar. But we have to say, they gave us good face.
We know these dodgeball gays will do anything to wear the flashiest accessory possible on the court (we totally loved Henrietta's socks and View Bar's ties last season) but this season it's at a whole new level. From David Barton's tribal face painting (which totally felt so Survivor to us) to Stonewall's rocking rainbow studded wristbands, teams are really upping the ante this year. G Lounge is soooo money in their dollar bill sign socks, but we have to give it to Gym Bar for stepping it up a notch and giving us a performance. They totally have found a fun and inventive use for blue running pants. They just rip them off before their game is going to start. We hope the trend continues this season and they start ripping each other's pants off. Now that would be hot.
Logo really dominated on Monday by winning all of their games and both matches which we think could possibly bring them to the top of the pack. Meanwhile we saw our first overtime showdown of the season between Logo and Stonewall. It was 2 vets (Sergio and Monica) pitted against each other, both more stubborn that the other to throw the ball and risk it being caught. In the end, Logo won the showdown and Stonewall was pissed. We secretly think Monica was pissed she hurt her finger (was that a popsicle stick with tape we saw on it?) and we hope it heals....in a couple of weeks.
Eagle also rocked it last night winning all of their games and both matches, but 1 of the matches was won by default. Masterbeat just can't catch a break this season. They had 3, yes 3!, people show up for their games at the end of the night. We hope it was because Monday was Rosh Hashanah, but they haven't had many people show up in the last couple of weeks. Rules state that you must have at least 4 people to play, so they had no choice but to forfeit and continue their losing streak. We feel for you guys and if we could play for you, we totally would.
Our favorite discovery of the evening was a newbie by the name of Vinny who plays for View Bar and has one hell of a throw. We totally think he is not only big and beefy, but dude will hurl that ball at you and make it hurt. We saw several people flanking him at the bar, so we guess his goal of making some new gay friends will pay off. Meanwhile, can we ask where all of the people who are supposed to be shagging went on Monday? We saw Paul the Commissioner practically bust a capillary when Boy Butter had to start shagging their own balls, because no one was behind them to send them back to the court. I guess these gays don't like shagging as much as we thought.
Could we also discuss the deadly combo of two of the best dodgers in the league? David Barton's Asian Persuasion duo - Zach and Vat, really kicked and jumped in ways we didn't think were humanly possible. We totally can't wait to see what moves they bust out next week!
After the game the teams headed to Henrietta Hudson's for some Twister, Beer Pong, and of course Flip Cup. Meanwhile do you remember what we said about the ladies of dodgeball getting more action than the guys last week? It totally rings true, as we saw some lady loving happening right before our very eyes in the corner. It was quite the scene, but not anything like the scandalous beer pong that happened late in the evening. We hear that some of the newbies and veterans stayed around for a game of strip beer pong, and some heavy making out. Perhaps two of them who happen to be teammates for a certain high flying team are just trying to "get to know" each other so they can "play" better. Who are we kidding, the team that plays together gets laid together, end of story.
Last night was proof that it's anyone's game this season as the undefeated Eastern Bloc and second place Stonewall took a tumble by losing both of their matches. This was just the thing Gym Bar needed to take over the score board and come out on top. All of the top teams are currently tied for winning 6 matches, but it's the games that count! At this stage in the game, Gym Bar has a good lead on it's competition, Eastern Bloc, Pieces, Bamboo 52, and Carraway & Sciacca, who are all neck and neck for first. See for yourself here.
That being said, we think the teams have finally decided to bring their A -Game and try to win. We saw several underdog teams finally start stepping up to the plate, making it a VERY interesting season. Also making it more interesting is some of the team flair on the court. We don't know how Gym Bar does it, but they play in wigs. Yes, we never thought it would come to this, but if Kelly can still throw hard and look fierce doing it, hats off to him!
Last season it was socks, this season headware seem to be the team flair to wear. We saw pink banadanas on Carraway & Sciacca, blue bandanas on Pieces, "Angry Beaver" headbands on Henrietta Hudson's (how terribly ironic), bedazzled white karate headbands on Eastern Bloc, smiley face headbands (how very Watchmen) on G Lounge, dark hats on Besspots, and yellow do-rags on the Boy Butter team (cheers for making gay look so thug).
We will give props where props are deserved and give a shout out to the Eagle team who managed to have their shirts altered in different designs using small metal holes. Everyone's shirt is different, and we could see them totally wearing them out after. Also Pets at Play did some altering to their shirts, with interesting results. Adding a little color to white shirts definitely helped.
